Difficult interview

Application

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Smartcat in Sept 2024

Interview

Fully remote three stages interview process. First step is code review and refactoring. You have a wired piece of code and need to make it better. During that process they ask you about essential things in .NET and async programming. Second step is design interview. In my case I had to design link shortener.
